Today, you wrote your character quiz for The Merchant of Venice. I then went over Sonnet 130 to show you the humour of it (you got this one before the holidays).
I then gave you a list of Shakespearean terms you need to memorize (I will quiz you on Monday). I have pasted these below.
Finally, those in class practiced using some of these words in context by pairing up and creating sentences for them (see instructions at the end).

2. Marry – really? Or, really!; an expression used in reply to a question (suggests surprise or indignation)
3. Anon – soon, or right away
4. Fie – exclamation expressing disgust or outrage (an “F” word in its day)
5. Sirrah – sir; but also may imply anger or contempt (talking down to)

Create sentences (grammatically correct) using EACH word highlighted in two (so, 28 sentences). You may do this in pairs if you want. But I want there to be no errors of punctuation.
